Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: Pine, 1x4, 8 ft
Build the box bottom, sides, and structure as shown — a pocket hole jig makes for the cleanest joints, but countersinking screws or plain nail-and-glue both work fine on a small piece like this. If you plan to attach the top with pocket holes, drill two 3/4" pocket holes facing up on the inside of each side now, before assembly, so they're ready for the top in a later step.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Pine, 1x2, 8 ft
Attach the back support strips. Their placement can be adjusted to suit your own necklace lengths — you don't have to match the plan's exact spacing, since a longer necklace just loops around a hook a couple of times to shorten. You'll hang the finished cabinet on the wall through a screw driven through these supports.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig
Attach the top piece using the pocket holes drilled earlier, or nails and glue.
Tools: Brad Nailer. Materials: Plywood or beadboard, 1/4"
Attach the plywood or beadboard back panel — this is optional; the cabinet works fine open-backed if you'd rather skip it.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: Pine, 1x3, 8 ft
Build the door frame from the four rail and stile pieces. Cut a few small spacer blocks about 2-3/4" long and set them inside the cabinet opening — resting the door on these blocks while you attach the hinges is much easier than holding a loose door in position with one hand.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Narrow-profile hinges, Cabinet handle, Magnetic clasp or hasp
With the door resting on the spacer blocks, install the hinges, then add the handle and an optional magnetic clasp.
Materials: Small hanging nails
Drive a row of small nails inside the cabinet, spaced about an inch apart, for hanging necklaces.
Tools: Staple Gun. Materials: Hardware cloth or chicken wire, Staples
Cut the hardware cloth or chicken wire to fit the door opening — use tin snips rather than wire cutters, since snips make one continuous cut through the mesh where cutters fight you snip by snip. Staple it to the back of the door frame with 1/2" staples.
